Carbon Robotics
"First & Only Commercial LaserWeeder"
Seattle agtech company founded 2018 by Paul Mikesell; makes the NVIDIA-powered LaserWeeder G2 and Carbon Autonomy tractor kit for 200+ growers.
Carbon Robotics is a Seattle, Washington-based agricultural robotics company founded in 2018 by Paul Mikesell, headquartered at 807 Aurora Avenue North.
The company builds the LaserWeeder, a machine that identifies weeds with computer vision and destroys them with lasers rather than herbicide. The current G2 generation, introduced in February 2025, runs on NVIDIA processors and spans widths from the 6.6-foot G2 200 through the 20-foot G2 600 to the 40- and 60-foot G2 1200. Carbon AI, the company's Large Plant Model, is trained on more than 150 million labeled plants across 15 countries and over 100 crop types to distinguish crops from weeds in real time. Carbon Robotics also sells Carbon Autonomy, a retrofit kit that adds autonomous operation with remote supervision to John Deere 6R, 8R, 8RX and 8RT tractors from model year 2019 onward.
The company reports annual revenue above $100 million, with more than 200 growers using its equipment across 15 countries, including named customers such as Grimmway Farms, Gills Onions, Hungenberg Produce Co. and Riviera Farms. Investors include NVIDIA Ventures, Bond, Anthos Capital, Ignition Partners, Revolution and Voyager Capital.
